2000 Subaru Liberty RX review from Australia and New Zealand
"I'd be surprised if they can beat this one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
General comments?
I have warmed this car up every morning for a minimum of 3 to 5 minutes, it has only been run on premium 98RON fuel. Always serviced when due. I have run this car off the the clock many many times at speeds estimated at 230 km/h to 240 km/h, can't tell as speedometer stops at 220 km/h. It's the first car I've driven that will pull overdrive in an auto almost to red line!! The body kit works and glues the car to road and makes you feel safe and sure at speed. I have never had one problem with this car and I'm very fussy about cars and what should/could be done better. I seriously take my hat off to the engineers of Subaru they are masters beyond a German standard (have a read of the poor owners of ML 320 Benz horror stories). I challenge anyone to justify $20k more for a 2wd 3 series BMW.
